Rinse and dry 8 ounces romaine lettuce hearts; chop or tear into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, combine 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic (fresh or from jar). Seal and shake or whisk until blended.
Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the chopped romaine and toss thoroughly to coat the leaves evenly.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese over the salad and lightly toss once more to distribute.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately.
